North Weald Beginners Activity Training Day.

The emphasis of the day is on driving technique. Only one car is active at a time making it the safest of environments. The day begins with the high-speed bend activity. This mimics the situation of suddenly arriving at a bend when you are going too fast to get around without spinning! Of course, being able to experience a spin safely on a huge patch of tarmac is part of the fun and the experience. The instructor will encourage you to approach the bend faster and faster until you do reach this limit - then he\'ll teach you what to do, based on your individual reaction to the situation!

Once everyone has made some progress with this, the day moves on to two, coned circuits. These provide an opportunity to try out your newfound skills and explore the capabilities of your car. All of this is great fun, but of course is designed to give you the confidence to come away from the day and book your first track day. However, what you learn will be beneficial to you on the public roads as well as on track.

North Weald is an event for track day beginners only or those novices who are still feeling nervous when on track. Numbers are limited to just 23 cars and places are likely to sell out quickly. The airfield is just off J7 of the M11 near to J27 of the M25.
After North Weald – what next?
Once you’ve experienced the North Weald day you will be itching to drive your car on a real racetrack. The second part of our beginner’s programme is at Donington Park, home to Touring Cars and Motorcycle Grand Prix. In 2011 we set aside a separate session for first timers, with plenty of Grade A, ARDS, race driving instructors on hand. Many of those first timers went on to become regular MGoT Tracksters. So with such a successful precedent we are doing the same again this year. The combination of North Weald in May and Donington in October will be an ideal introduction to track days.
